Airy Functions
Ai(z)—Returns the value of the Airy function of the first kind.
DAi(z)—Returns the value of the first derivative of Ai(z).
Bi(z)—Returns the value of the Airy function of the second kind.
DBi(z)—Returns the value of the first derivative of Bi(z).
The scaled Ai and DAi functions have a scale factor of e(2/3)*z(3/2)). The scaled Bi and DBi functions have a scale factor of e-|(2/3)*Re(z(3/2))|. Type sc as a literal subscript after the function name to specify the scaled function Aisc(z).
These functions, and their scaled versions, can be evaluated both numerically and symbolically.
Arguments
z is a dimensionless complex scalar or vector.
